Michigan month-to-month lease agreement outlines terms for a periodic tenancy arrangement wherein a tenant leases residential property on a monthly basis. Specified in the agreement are conditions similar to those found in a standard lease. The initial date of occupancy, monthly rent, security deposit amount, and utility fees are defined in both standard and month-to-month tenancy agreements.

Unlike a standard lease, a monthly agreement has no fixed termination date and will continue to renew for an additional month unless terminated by either the landlord or tenant. This type of leasing arrangement gives each party more control over their ability to end the lease or modify its terms.
